Show Thread Enhancements - First Post Editable Indefinitely

Sometimes you want your users to be able to edit the first post in their thread indefinitely but still have a time limit on all other posts in the thread. This would be useful if they want to constantly update their first thread with new information, or an updated list of some sort way past the normal editing time limit. This modification will allow them to edit that first post indefinitely.

Notes
- I wrote this for my own site and it works exactly how I want it to. I have no plans to change it or expand it in any way
- No, you may not change the time limit, this only works for if the time limit for the first post is 0 - indefinite.

FOR 4.1.12 - SEE THIS POST - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=63

Version History:
1.0 2009-11-17: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org
1.1 2009-11-21: - added option in Forum Manager to turn on indefinite editing of first post per forum
1.2 2010-07-22: - fixed to work in 4.0.4. Also moved plugin from global_complete to global_bootstrap_complete since global_complete is deprecated (4.0.4)




To install:

1. Import product-lynne_first_post_editable.xml
2. By default, editing first post indefinitely is Off per forum. To turn it on, go into the Forum Manager > select your forum to Edit > Make first post in thread editable indefinitely > Yes

To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "First Post Editable Indefinitely v4.0"

Hello, it seems that this modification it is not working any more on 4.1.12 version.

Same here, 4.1.12 broke this mod unfortunately.

I don't have time right now to do another release, but try this:

Create a new plugin:
hook location - ajax_start
title - Set edittimelimit to 0 for first post (2)
code -

PHP Code:

if (($threadinfo['firstpostid'] == $postinfo['postid']) AND ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $postinfo['userid']) AND $foruminfo['ls_edit_ind'])  

    {
        $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] = 0;
    } 


And see if that works.

FOR 4.1.12 ONLY (and probably future versions)

Thank you very much, it is working just fine with your new plugin.
The small problem is that I cannot edit the thread name.

Has this been added to any of the downloads?

Does anyone have this mod working with 4.1?

[Alan_SP]

I'm not working (in 4.1.3), you may need to edit the template? Tell me where?

It should be the last item there (unless you have other modifications):

Make first post in thread editable indefinitely - Yes or No

Unfortunately there is no such, please show a picture where it is. And you should see the user created the topic (first post)
Sorry, Google translation

A beautiful and correct fashion, I was looking for a similar and now in complete disarray of the inability to use it.
